Excellent Josh, I'll get started on the graduation work this week for sure.

Not at all. We need to demonstrate 1) building community, 2) developing and
releasing software under the Apache brand, 3) building more community ;)
All of the above has been demonstrated.

I'll look forward to that. If and when you need a release manager please
let me know. It would be great to see someone else taking on the task and
working it through to see if what we have is satisfactory.

Lewis,

SOLD. Have spoken to some of our committers about this. A few were nervous 
about this, but some of those felt better when they looked through the 
portfolio and realized that Top Level projects aren't just monsters like Open 
Office, Kafka, Solr, and Tika.

Let's get the process started. Now is the right time--we have some funding to 
push some major upgrades to our back-end, and do some much needed house keeping 
on our website.

We're also about ready to clean up our UserALE.js branches, and believe it or 
not, we're a few tickets away from a releasable 1.1., which features our 
browser plugin packaging.

The road map after that is going to be... very exciting. We have a few million 
behind us for some really great stuff.

Josh

Honestly, not a lot. We would elect a PMC Chair. I would most likely nominate 
yourself. The PMC Chair would deal with the above. It is a minimal 
responsibility.

Absolutely, I will be around for quite a while post graduation. I am always 
available to answer questions.

Top-level project without a doubt.

Yes I think we have demonstrated the ability to 1) release software, 2) grow 
community through election and VOTE'ing of committers and a project management 
committee, and 3) use VOTE'ing as a mechanism for driving progress e.g. 
releases, addition to committer-base, etc.

Great, I am glad. I'm pretty busy right now so I will come back to this as soon 
as a I can.
Thanks for the continued support from you all.
Driving towards another release of any components within the SensSoft stack 
would be the primary goal moving forward.

@lewismc

I think this is really cool. Leading with userale and some offerings for back 
end configs, I think this makes sense. Distill and TAP aren't far behind.

Quick run through of materials (will do more thorough scrub this weekend) and I 
have two questions:

1. Beyond the basics of project management, product ownership, and 
documentation/marketing, what additional administrative or organizational 
duties (beyond Quarterly reports, etc.) can we expect to take on after 
graduating?
2. Will you show us how to use all the cool Apache bots for licensing, 
checksums, etc., etc., :)
3. Big question: Given that there aren't many (if any) projects like ours in 
the big data portfolio, do you see us as graduating to top level project, or a 
child of which project?
4. Do you think we have the support from the ASF Board to graduate?

Besides these questions (and maybe a lot more follow-ups), I'm ready to commit 
to this.

Josh

Hi Folks,
I would like to move SensSoft towards a graduation scenario out f the Incubator.
Please have a read through [0] and let me know if there are any issues.
Please voice issues here and we can address them together.
If I do not hear anything, I will progress with the graduation proposal as 
outlined in [0].
Thanks
Lewis
